So, my grandma died. She’d been in memory care for a minute so it’s not unexpected, but the end came fast. I’m a voracious reader and I try to use travel for media consumption purposes whenever possible.
Vintage crime fiction, translated fiction, microhistories, queer, horror, bizarre (but readable) things are always a plus. Ideally no long-form explorations of grief. Some recent great reads for me have included Liberty Bar by Simenon, You Dreamed of Empires by Alvaro Enrigue, Tricks by Ed McBain, Beautiful Shadows: A Life of Patricia Highsmith, Goth: A History by Lol Tolhurst, and Road Rage by Ruth Rendell.
Availability on Kindle/Libby is a must, please!

I’m sorry for your loss.
Not vintage but have you read [Magpie Murders](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32075854-magpie-murders)?
And, [Less](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39927096-less?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_4) is an award winning, humorous story about a traveling man escaping his former boyfriend’s wedding.
You’ll find both in Kindle format.
